lol. I didn't do the ride but have heard that it was very hard to miss

not that hard to miss ... on the PA I heard "checkers <something unintelligibly> right". So I was like does that mean checkers go right or diversion on the right. I just followed the bigger pack and went up checkers (which is what I was planning on doing).

so if I was on my own or in a smaller pack I might have gone the wrong way.

There was in fact signage and arrows at the junction of Adelaide-Mannum Road and Little South Para Road.

One sign indicated that Checker Hill was to the left (Little South Para Road), and the other indicated that in order to avoid Checker Hill, to continue straight ahead on the Adelaide-Mannum Road to Gumeracha.

I didnt notice the signs there when I went through, but as all signs for the event were erected by a dwarf you wouldn't of seen it because it was probably at ground level.

There was a lot of confusion in the morning at The Parade as no one knew where to scan their chip. Again the sign was at ground level and wasnt visible. Same at the water stop at Oakbank. I grabbed some cake to eat and was looking for the water but as there were hundreds of riders there couldnt see it. Went for a walk to find it and there was a sign there too at ground level.
